Despite Nicola’s hope of showing Meisha his romantic side, this weekend’s latest 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days seduction scene devolves into a big mess.
In sneak peek at Sunday’s episode, Nicola and Meisha try out some hands-on therapy, rubbing Dead Sea mud on each other.
Nicola says he hopes his girlfriend will “never forget” the experience — and she responds, “Well, that’s the understatement of the century.”
As he rubs mud on her skin, she admits that she is less than titillated by his awkward technique, asking, “Is this the sexiest way to do this?”
After adjusting positions, she reminds him to be “gentle,” adding, “not caveman-style.” When he continues to slap mud on her, she says, “Whoa, can you try not to be a barbarian?”
Meisha shares in a confessional that she is frustrated by Nicola not making the most of experience.
“I am very physically attracted to Nicola, that kind of innocence, that kind of funniness about him and then he does everything with confidence, I actually think it’s super sexy,” she says. “But Nicola is missing a golden opportunity right now to make this moment a little bit flirty and fun [by] putting this Dead Sea mud on me like you would spackle a wall.”
She adds, “I don’t think that he’s quite feeling comfortable and in his element, nor do I think that he really knows maybe what to do.”
Meisha tries to gently guide Nicola to a more sensual technique as she applies mud to his skin and asks, “So the way that I’m putting this on you, do you want to put it on me again anywhere?”
He misses the hint and refuses to apply more mud to her skin, so she tells him, “That’s not the right answer by the way. You should say, ‘Yes, I can’t wait to touch you more.’”
While Nicola believes he is becoming “more passionate,” Meisha knows he has a lot to learn.
“I have so much grace for you because I actually understand you,” she tells him, “and I understand where you’ve been, but because you’re a virgin, I also want you to feel free to come to me and ask me questions on like the sexual stuff … I just don’t want you to ever feel embarrassed about something like, ‘Well, I wouldn’t know how to do that.’”
But Nicola isn’t convinced he needs any help
“I know what is woman,” he insists. “I know how woman operate. I know everything but everything has to come in the right time.”
Meisha responds, “You can’t fully know how women operate because that would just be impossible.”
But, he counters, “I live in the world.”
